Matcha Power Fries

Haha! After trying out with the crispy healthy curry shoestring fries, felt like creating a totally different taste of fries for kids that does not eat spicy food. Matcha Powder!

Mixing the matcha powder (green tea powder) and oil with the fries, instead of deep-frying, just threw them into the oven toaster. The end result is fries in an interesting shade of green. Any dipping sauce, again anything you desire. To go with the greeny theme, add wasabi to the salad cream or mayo, if it is not served to kid. In fact, to make French Fries more colourful and exciting, mix or serves 3 different types of Fries, Original(yellow in colour), Matcha Fries (green in colour) and Curry Fries (red/orange in colour) in a plate!
